New touch-free technology to be installed in pedestrian crossings across Cumbria

SMARTCROSS – a touch-free pedestrian crossing system – was successfully trialled in several locations in Carlisle city centre in 2020.

SMARTCROSS is a touch-free unit that works alongside the existing push-button systems at controlled pedestrian crossings, providing touch-free activation of the crossing.  The unit also has a remote-control function for people with mobility issues or visual impairments by using a SmartButton / SmartTube to activate the crossing.

Cumbria City Council have now installed more than 350 Smart Crossings in Towns and Cities in the Cumbria area.
